Available payment options

For seamless payment of your booking, we accept a range of credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, and American Express. Important Notice: When collecting your hired car, please be prepared to present a credit card as debit cards may not be accepted for such transactions. It's always best to consult the 'Payment Methods' section for detailed instructions well before your pick-up date.

Deposit and credit card information

Occasionally, a rental provider may specify that a credit card is necessary to secure a booking. If you find yourself without one, a quick check of your debit card at www.bindb.com could provide a solution.

Verify if your card has such features, as it could very well be your ticket to fulfilling the provider's requirements.
